Thanks for the encouragement! I recently seemed to take a jump in my confidence in flying. I think it came from taking the advice here and sticking with the Avistar for a long time. I just love that plane. I learned on it at the beginning of last season and flew it only until just recently. Another club member showed me how to do spins and snaps earlier this season and since then I finally felt that I should move on to another more capable second plane. I am now using the Avistar to let my daughters try their fingers on the sticks with my old transmitter as a buddy box (I should turn those throws back down come to think of it)

As I have read here the Supersportster has been a dream to fly and does things much better than the Avistar in terms of precision. It handles the wind so well. It has really bumped up my confidence even more. I would not have been flying my Avistar in these conditions. It would have been upside down for sure!

The people here on RCU has been a great help to me in learning. My next dream plane is a 60/90 Edge 540 (Pacific or probably Vector Flight) I am using the SS to try to work up to it by the end of next season.
